Question Best cleaner for rims??

Well I washed my car yesterday and did everything to my baby....Now I cleaned the rims with some spray leave on from Mothers....cleaned the brake dust right off...Then shined the tires up with some Black Magic roller...no spray..I just pass it over the tire and it shines...like that since I dont wanna have a mess...Now Im wondering if anyone sells like wipes or something of that sorth to make the rims looks shinier...what do you guys use to make your rims Bling Bling and keep their shine on?? ....So what can I use??

I just use a toothbrush when I want to do a good job. When I don't give a ****, I use Armorall wheel cleaner. Most of the time, I use the armorall.
Want em shiny, use wax unless they;re chrome. DO NOT wax chrome wheels. You'll ruin them.

I spray on $0.99 per bottle Wal-Mart all purpose degreaser, then watch all the grime drip off the wheels for about a minute. Then I use a high pressure water spray on them to get the crap off. Then I use old rags to dry them and get any left over crud off. Then I use whatever paste wax I have in the garage.

They do make wax "specially formulated" for wheels that is supposed to keep your wheels shiny longer, but I'm too cheap to buy a separate wax for my wheels. See example pic below:
